WIRE RACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,556, dated August15, 1882.

' Application filed May 8, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSHUA BAILEY, of Golumbns, in the county ofFranklin, State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful article made ofwire; and I do'hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription of the same.

My invention relates to the construction of a rack made of wire forholding folded newspapers.

It consists in the peculiar construction hereinafter more specificallypointed out and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing the figure represents a front view of myimproved rack, a part of which is shown holding folded newspapers.

In manufacturing my rack wire of a suitable length is taken and bent atthe center, as shown at A, to form a loop, by means of which the rack issuspended, then slightly curved to B B, forming rings B B, then formingthe sides and back D D, which,being bent outward at regular intervalsand at opposite points of the frame D D, form the projections O (3,which are inclined slightly upward to prevent the folded newspapers fromfalling out of place.

.IEhe portions of the wire which form the projections O (J are broughttogether at E E, and held by means of metal bands soldered around themnear the point where said projections are bent from the frame D D. At ashort distance below the lower pair of projections, G O, the portion ofthe wire forms the lower rings, B B, at corner. The two ends of the wireare brought together a little below in the center, and held in place bymeans of light metal band H. The cross-pieces at top and bottom, S S,are fastened in the rings B B and B B at each corner to retain the sidesor frame in a verticalposition.

What I claim asmy invention is- A rack for holdingfolded newspapers,affording separate accommodations for each paper or papers, consistingof a single piece of wire bent in the form of an oblong frame, securedtogetherat its ends and having projecting loops made in its sides,substantially as shown and described.
